This pioneering work of digital art was installed at the Tingrith Fishery over the summer of 2005 The work uses hydrophones, custom software and advanced technology to track the electronically tagged fish in the circular Fringe Lake and translate their movement into an audio visual experience. Visitors of all ages are invited to come and listen to the fish composing their very own soundscape whilst watching an animated representation of what’s really happening under the water.
The work was developed over three years and supported by a £96,000 fellowship from NESTA (The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), and Tingrith Coarse Fishery
